Nice coin. I like the toning.
Hello TML! Welcome to the Forum. As far as authenticity, I don't see anything wrong with the coins pictured. More opinions are better, though....
The owner's response was rude, no question about that. But on the other hand, if this was an auction, @Mammothtooth did renege on a binding...
